I would agreed with you if we still played 3-5-2 and only 3 CMs starting. But we play 4 CMs formation, and our best quartet start, leaving only Pereyra on the bench to back them up (Padoin LB backup, and too poor of a CM anyways). Because rest assured, we are taking back Sturaro early only because Romulo's career seems to be over with us, injury plauged and will be gone for a while, plus takes time to get back, and its only 4 months left of the season. So might aswell take back someone who we planned on adding in the summer. And its sad, but I'm leaning heavily on this being Pirlo's last season with us, so will be more room rotation wise next season.
